《縱向和生命歷程研究》(LLCS)是一份同行評議的期刊，致力于研究生命歷程的研究人員的需求，并在社會、發(fā)展和健康科學(xué)的接口上使用縱向方法。它促進(jìn)跨學(xué)科和國際努力，促進(jìn)縱向數(shù)據(jù)資源的創(chuàng)造和利用以及它們在政策問題上的應(yīng)用。作為縱向和生命歷程研究協(xié)會(SLLS)的期刊，它為處于職業(yè)生涯各個階段的學(xué)者提供了一個跨越學(xué)科邊界發(fā)表作品的機會，這往往超出了更傳統(tǒng)的單一領(lǐng)域期刊的范圍。

Longitudinal and Life Course Studies (LLCS) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the needs of researchers studying the life course and using longitudinal methods at the interfaces of social, developmental and health sciences. It fosters cross-disciplinary and international endeavours and promotes the creation and exploitation of longitudinal data resources as well as their application to policy issues. As the journal of the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies (SLLS) it provides an opportunity for scholars at all stages of their careers to publish work crossing disciplinary boundaries which is often beyond the scope of more conventional, single-field journals.
